Kristen Stewart Videos: Talk about pole dance: Being an actor isn’t always a walk-in-the-park, and  Kristen Stewart can attest to that. For the Bella Swan babe’s latest flick “Welcome to the Rileys” - where she plays a young stripper - learning to pole dance was a requirement.

At Monday night’s premiere in New York City, Stewart told press of her new experience, “I did two weeks of it….I did learn how to do it and I got bruises all over my legs. It’s hard, but it actually doesn’t look painful, but it is. It kinda beats you up.”Of playing a troubled 17-year-old in the film out October 29, Kristen says, "This is something that any girl can relate to: if you love yourself and you respect yourself, that's the only way anybody else is going to.”
